"I think you shouldn't set It, Ne!- tte,'* he said, gently. "It only reminds as of--things we would b« better to forget.** Mrs. Martin brushed a capable, loury band quickly across her eyes. Things would go blurry when she .thought of Lucy. " "Let me leave It Just one* more," she almost pleaded. "It la more than lour years now since Lucy went, and very day 1 am hoping for her back, articularly at Christmas I like to think that her place Is set anil waiting for her. Oh, Fred, If we could let her know." Fred's hand found hers, where it had rested a moment against the table for support. "I know," he said huskily. "I was wrong In turning her out as I did. I thought the honor of the family demanded It I thought perhaps she would write; that Is, if she Is still . . " He left the sentence unfinished. Death might not have been unwelcome to Lucy, and four years of silence left them to draw their own conclusions. "Lucy Is too proud to write," his Wife asserted. "And yet, I have always felt that sometime she would «ome back. Perhaps at Christmas. Pi We wish you hoalH^ We wish yov woaM^ Good luck beyond all rtiwl All Ho ppiness.

"Yes, end Arthur got a wife like Lucy--if he married her," iTellie Martin insisted.

NATURE EDUCATION It is an extraordinary thing that in this country, where undoubtedly iftore money is spent for education than anywhere else, one great weakness stands out peirmantly--the ignorance shown on every hand of the common facts of natural history. Almost 90 per cent of American youths graduate from school or college taking with them the fond beliefs that the porcupine throws its quills, that the cat sucks the baby's breath, that every h&wk is a "chicken hawk" that the black boar is a man eater and so on. The college man is tauglit political economy, but has to learn later in life from the Izaak Walton Le&gue or some institute of natural history how intimately connected with national economy is the preservation of forests, waters, birds and wild life. It would be a waste of time- in this modern age of big business to speak of the aesthetic side of the subject, but it does seem a rather peculiar thing that most of us go through life side-by-side with thousands of animals and birds, and at the same time nine-tenths of us could probably give a less accurate description of their habits and life than we could of the harpies or the phoenix or the chimera. A "well educated" person would scorn a fellow-man who displayed ignorance of the latter beast, but more than likely quite unable to distinguish between a weasel and a ferut, or a junco and a chickadee himself. The remedy for this faultry education lies primarily in the hands of parents. The father can, if he will, easily train his children to habits of reference in taking life both by example and instruction. Books by noted naturalists do much to teach youngsters about wild life and nature, but this should be furthered by trips to the fields- and woodlands where wild game and fish and birds are in evidence. Nature study is an important phase of modern life and should be encouraged in the public school. & '• £2M±i3Li*ri*-* r# * ,J1 I* £31 • THE • YJKITCHEN SEA CABINET (©, 19U0.

"We found her la the snow, just between the barn and the house." the boys explained. "She seemed to have Mien there." But right then Lucy seemed to come to life. She sprang to her feet "Mother--Dad--1 can't keep It from you any longer. Please help me off with my coat." Willing hands drew it from her shoulders.

"Arthur!" "Yes. He is in the cutter with little Nellie, just beyond the wind-break. Boys, will you run and tell him 7" The boys dashed off, but Fred Mar tin seemed the most excited of all.

Weatera M«w«pap«r UalWM J mm mm# Now that the "north wind doth blow, and* we shall have snow," we begin to think of the coming holidays. We must not forget to keep the beautiful custom of receiving one's guests on New Year's without special Invitation. In the old days of our grandmothers New Year's day open house was the most important day of the year. Christmas waa a private affair for one's own family and relatives, but New Year's day was the time for general gayety, with music and dancing and loaded tables of everything good that one could eat To day our entertainments are more simple, with less lavish varieties of food, but the friendly feeling and hominess which are really the only things worth while may be present today in just as large a measure. The cutting of the fruit cake, so dark and rich with fruits and spices, Is still the custom on this occasion. Fruit cake made at home, of the cherished recipe which has been handed down for several generations, a very mosaic of good things, each slice a tidbit which is eaten bit by bit to honor every crumb. For those who still enjoy a fruit cake and like to make it the following is a cherished recipe which once tried wilt be carefully kept to pass on In the family, to use at weddings and at holiday times: Fruit, Cake.--Take one cupful each of molasses, brown sugar, white sugar, coffee and butter. Cream the butter, add the sugar and six eggs well beaten. Take two pounds of raisins, one pound of currants, one-half pound of citron, one-half pound each of dates and figs, one pound of chopped walnut meats, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful of cloves, the same of nutmeg and allspice, two cupfuls of chopped apples, a half teaspoonful of salt, four cupfuls of flour. Chop the fruit or cut fine, add a little of the flour to cover. Mix as usual and steam three hours and bake one. LEGAL NOTICES WM .M. CARROLL, Solicitor STATE OP ILLINOIS, ^ McHenry County, ss.
